I have graduated from Biological department of Moscow State University and received a Ph.D in Biophysics. After working in Shemyakin Institute of Bioorganic chemistry in Moscow (NMR spectrosopy lab), I moved to the United States. Currently, I am Associate Research Scientist at the University of Michigan.

I am interested in modeling of protein structure, folding and stability and paricipated in several CASP experiments.

I like writing programs from the scratch and have developed quite a few of them including
 * ConforNMR, a program for conformational analysis of peptides from NMR spectroscopy data, ;
 * Framework, thermodynamic model of coil to helix transition in membranes, micelles and molten globule ;
 * Assembl, calculation of helix-helix binding affinities in nonpolar media, and
 * PPM, a program for spatial positioning of proteins in the lipid bilayers ,.

My favorite subjects are
 * development of energy functions from protein foldidng, ligand binding and solvent partitioning thermodynamics data ,, ; and
 * membrane proteins

We have recently designed Orientations of Proteins in Membranes (OPM) database ,,, see our database and article in Wikipedia.
